“The cottage on arrival was very "tidy" but not particularly "clean".”
In these COVID times I took it upon myself to have a clean over as soon as we arrived and found that surfaces were a little 'grubby' and utensils in the Kitchen had not been left in a clean condition. There was no smell of fresh cleaning products used in the property at all although we saw the cleaner leaving as arrived early and drove to see where the house was before we went into the village to get some shopping. It very much felt like it had just had a quick wipe over. The mugs all had tea stains in them, drawers had crumbs and some cooking utensils had definately not been cleaned properly. we washed a couple of everyhting and then just used them so we did not wash everyhting else.It would have been nice to have had a couple of glasses suitable for a bottle of fizz. There were 4 wine glasses but all different sizes. They were saucepans and a griddle pan but no frying pan. You market this as a premium property but in my opinion this didn't quite meet those standards. A perfecly positioned cottage though in a lovely village.
